Joan and her husband, Dan, have been restoring an old farmhouse in the New Hampshire countryside. If you have ever read <a href="http://fortheloveofahouse.blogspot.com/">Joan's blog</a> you know that her house is beautiful. From the moment I first saw photos of her home I fell in love with it. A lot of times when I have something built up in my head when I see it in "real life" it never quite holds up to the vision I had of it. That was NOT the case with Joan's home. It seems hard to imagine, but it was truly even more stunning than it looks in her photographs. Each and every room is finished to perfection and her attention to detail is just incredible. I can truly say that it is by far the most beautifully decorated home I have ever been inside.  I want to go back again and have more time to slowly go through each room (we had Lillie and Lola in tow so I didn't get to take in the details). My artist side is dying to go back and spend hours admiring each space! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Joan and her dog Ella, who Lillie adored, were so gracious in having us and made us feel so welcome. And she even had gifts for the girls. She gave Lola this antique children's plate with the alphabet on it. I can't wait to display it in her room when we get home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxuP6wXOy8RC-wnQssgbZ5GSouyifkOLxkPFrgr7xZuOChRiA6rLimij0EgfAZGvn6VxuB9m2BGF7qOYx78e5niqzcnuvdGnzGFrLyYQiuB0zUCXWtR4gZnUTyaG8gSC9raje7yu1Uws/s1600/rrDSC_0027.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxuP6wXOy8RC-wnQssgbZ5GSouyifkOLxkPFrgr7xZuOChRiA6rLimij0EgfAZGvn6VxuB9m2BGF7qOYx78e5niqzcnuvdGnzGFrLyYQiuB0zUCXWtR4gZnUTyaG8gSC9raje7yu1Uws/s640/rrDSC_0027.png" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVy5Kfu5BNF0HyLTGF-XxMiLuDgVBI0vXieEwg-8avUbGGcz7ZNN7Fb3mzagDz3Ux8ebAHOx_Esms4oWDchyL1FzIdsPWhVgeux07Lw0rDzSe8RThLl0yka0Z009DUVosQHbvQlKBc8ig/s1600/rrDSC_0026.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVy5Kfu5BNF0HyLTGF-XxMiLuDgVBI0vXieEwg-8avUbGGcz7ZNN7Fb3mzagDz3Ux8ebAHOx_Esms4oWDchyL1FzIdsPWhVgeux07Lw0rDzSe8RThLl0yka0Z009DUVosQHbvQlKBc8ig/s640/rrDSC_0026.png" width="462" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrqWDnr4QCbd1n4lNIZNAyxYxjMNBUSb3ucuQTsaFQw2knBQdfxZD-jE4661VLoVtU9KIOAOAH_tE4ogdDRCGHUlnX_1sYyefglfpeeG-u9nRCgzU_66fom3-wCVjng99fmeDqrfAgCU/s1600/rrDSC_0029.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnrqWDnr4QCbd1n4lNIZNAyxYxjMNBUSb3ucuQTsaFQw2knBQdfxZD-jE4661VLoVtU9KIOAOAH_tE4ogdDRCGHUlnX_1sYyefglfpeeG-u9nRCgzU_66fom3-wCVjng99fmeDqrfAgCU/s640/rrDSC_0029.png" width="428" /></a></div><br />I hope you all are having a blessed Sunday!
